  1. I really wanted to get Action Pack #9, but thinking that I'm not sure it's worth it for such a horrible map screw up. Though I was intrigued by the introductory landing craft scenario.

  2. As far as we know there is no error on the map. If you are referring to our comments about the letters being different, they are designed that way, and we were saying that we forgot why they that was the design. Unless you have heard from MMP or another reliable source, there is no error in the product.

  3. Regarding the Gary F-style mapboards that made their debut in the Action Packs, the front/obverse/a side has hex columns labelled A through Q, while the back/reverse/b side has hex columns labelled Q through GG. I will leave the topic of its merits to others.

  4. This type of board design should've occurred 20 years ago.
    Variety is the spice of life.

    The only thing I'd like to see is more usage of some of the more obscure looking boards instead of it being a novelty. Leave that to the HASL modules. Singular theme, single map...

    Keep up the Spectacular work Jeff and Dave...
    Oh, by the way, House rules state that Sgt Kleine and Cpl Schmidt have a -2 to capture DRM in CC and will surrender if broken withing normal range to a KEU...
